    All Behaviour Is Intentional
    Sep 29 2024

    We have a seriously special guest to kick off season 2... David Irvine!

    David has more than 40 years experience as a family therapist, workshop facilitator, lecturer and advisor. Raised in rural central Alberta, David is no stranger to farming and the people that go with it. His work with Holisitic Management has helped and inspired farming families across North America.

    We don't think that there is one person in farming that won't relate to something that David says in this podcast. From digging out the root cause of family unrest, letting go of blame and dealing with those who's identity is 'the farm' We hope you enjoy - we certainly did.

    David will be speaking at the MFGA annual regenerative agriculture conference in Brandon, Manitoba on Nov 12 - 13, 2024. If you're at that side of the water - don't miss out on that! https://mfga.net/regen-ag-conference

    Embracing Change
    Apr 15 2024

    A little 'bonus' episode for you all - Amy's "Embracing Change" talk from the Holistic Management Canada conference in Valleyview, Alberta earlier this year.

    We put this talk on our YouTube channel with the slides, but we've had reports of YouTube not playing nice with some of our listeners and have been asked to release it as a podcast episode. So...here you go!

    Amy spoke about her own experience of embracing change, both in her personal life and in her work with farmers in the UK.

    Trigger warning - this talk contains experiences of mental ill health and post natal depression.

    Welcome to episode 9! This month we interview Duane Thompson of the Tee Two Land & Cattle Co. from Kelliher, Saskatchewan. Duane and his family operate an integrated mixed farm, with an emphasis being stewards of the land while ensuring the long term viability of their farm business. We dive into what drives Duane’s passion for agriculture as he openly shares the lessons he has learned along the way. Duane is very proud of Tee Two's history and has worked to ensure that future generations have the opportunity to be part of the operation. Succession planning has been a very important part of the intergenerational communication and he now has 2 sons working along side him as partners in the business.
